Her Addiction

I waited too long to say all the words you needed to hear
I stood by and did nothing as you crumbled to the floor
Never fully knowing, you were trying to conquer your fears
Never finding the light, and always searching for more

Your life was never a fairy tale
And you never got your happy ending
People always expecting you to fail
Constantly breaking and bending

Enduring the pain like knives to your chest
Searching for hope in all the wrong places
Deep down inside you knew what was best
The answer was never in any of the same faces

Torment inside as you try to numb the pain
With bottles, pills, and the pipe
Like driving a car outside of your lane
You began to say "fuck this life, what is all the hype"

But you werent given the chance
To be happy and free
To go in the rain and dance
Or sail across the sea

Your demons came back
Like a thousand rocks tumbling to the ground
You fell for the attack
Never having time to turn around

The heroin hits your vein
The peace you feel is surreal
It hits you with force like a freight train
For a little while, youre allowed to just not feel

If only you knew that was never the answer
That the end would be here soon
Your disease eating away at you like cancer
It is only a matter of time before your Spirit leaves this room

Our hearts will be shattered
And our bodies will crumble like dried flowers in the fall
Now we will be broken and battered
Leaving no room to be happy, once and for all.
